Description
- The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a multi-slot transmission method and a multi-slot transmission device.
- Along with the change in the requirements on mobile communication services, such organizations as International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) have studied a new radio communication system (e.g., 5th-Generation New Radio Access Technology (RAT) (NR) system). A new frame structure is defined in the new radio communication system, so as to support different numerologies (including parameters such as subcarrier spacings). With respect to different numerologies, a length of one subframe is defined as 1ms, and one subframe includes A slots. Values of A may be different for different numerologies, so as to ensure that the length of the subframe is 1ms. With respect to different numerologies, one slot may include 7 or 14 symbols (e.g., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) or Discrete Fourier Transformation Spreading OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM) symbols). One slot may be provided with various slot structures/formats corresponding to different uplink/downlink resource division modes. For example, all symbols within one slot may be used for Downlink (DL) transmission, i.e., the slot may be a DL only slot; or all the symbols within one slot may be used for Uplink (UL) transmission, i.e., the slot may be a UL only slot; or some of the symbols within one slot may be used for the UL transmission and some of the symbols within one slot may be used for the DL transmission, i.e., the slot may be a DL+UL slot. The slot structures/formats may be notified to a User Equipment (UE) in a semi-static manner through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, or notified to the UE in a dynamic manner through group common Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to dynamically change the slot structure.
- The quantity of uplink symbols within one slot may probably change, so two types of NR-Physical Uplink Control Channels (PUCCHs), i.e., a long NR-Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and a short NR-PUCCH, have bene defined in the 5G NR system. For the transmission of the long NR-PUCCH within one slot, 4 to 14 symbols may be occupied. The NR system may support different numerologies corresponding to at least different subcarrier spacings and different symbol lengths.
- However, in the 5G NR system, there is an urgent need to find a way for determining the quantity of slots during the transmission of the PUCCH within the slots.
